A Project in Research Desk represents a collection of Surveys and a specific research endeavor with a defined end date. It is not recommended to use a single Project for all your surveys. We recommend that at Project spans no longer than 1-2 months. On the project, which user is responsible for the management of the project. In order to support an organized user experience and a performant integration, it is recommended to replicate the project structure within your application. When creating a project, a project manager must be assigned. The calling user may assign any user as the project manager, provided the calling user can view the user ID as returned by the User endpoint. If the calling user is associated with multiple Research Desk accounts, the account ID must be specified and consistent with the user ID when creating a project. Projects may be updated using the available PATCH functionality; there is no functional effect on surveys when updating a project.
